1. The IEEE SDSC Industry Technology Expert Committee (ITAC) was officially established.
On December 30, 2020, The fourth meeting of IEEE SDSC (Intelligent Device Standardization Committee) officially approved the establishment of the Industry and Advisory Technology Committee (ITAC). As a professional committee of IEEE SDSC, ITAC is positioned as a communication & discussion platform for industry experts. ITAC organizes workshops or other pre-standard activities to discuss trend of industry and technology, and provides suggestions on key areas and directions of SDSC standardization. In this way, standard projects are incubated, industry consensus is formed, and industry cooperation is promoted.
Dr. Huang Weidong, a member of the SDSC, was elected as Chairman of the ITAC, and Mr. Luo Yaoping served as Secretary-General.
2.Introduction of SHDWG
The full name of “SHDWG” is “Smart Home Devices Working Group”. It was formally approved by IEEE SDSC (Smart Terminal Standards Committee) on September 23rd, 2020. The group not only focuses on the establishment, formulation, review, release and maintenance of standards for smart home devices, but also embark on the technology development of domestic and international smart home devices.
The advancement of artificial intelligence technology brings the boom of smart home devices which in turn makes our life convenient and full of fun. When it comes to the devices themselves, the functions, performance and intelligence level will determine the users’ experience. How to systematically evaluate household products, effectively identify product characteristics and reasonably analyze their advantages and disadvantages have become the common needs for both customers and manufacturers. Therefore, the reason that induces us to draft relevant standards is obvious.
Inspired by above-mentioned ideas, IEEE SHDWG, based on multiple levels of software and hardware, plans to study and formulate a general evaluation method for smart home devices intelligence. The task involves seven grading directions including computing, perception, cognition, mobility, collaboration, skills and security. The relevant work will offer best practice references for both customers and manufacturers.
In addition to standard development, IEEE SHDWG is also committed to the technological innovation, standard development and industrial cooperation. It aims at fostering the communication between China and the world, and promoting collaborative innovation in the smart home devices industry.
